    Dave Blaney may not have won this race, but there was a silver lining: what was originally supposed to be a one race deal with Golden Corral ended up turning into a sponsorship deal for the rest of 2011 and sporadic races for the rest of Tommy Baldwin Racing's existence.

      @@killertaco9703 True, I'll grant you that is worse. I don't know how to solve it except to just let the cars go crazy fast, removing restrictor plates or tapered spacers, especially now that the safety precautions are so incredibly good. NASCAR is far safer now than in 1988 when they restricted the speed of the cars.

      And less torn up cars. Pack racing always seems to result in a 25 car pileup which the fans might like but if I were a driver or team owner and my equipment constantly got torn up because of a wreck that wasn't my fault, I'd be pissed. Tandem racing would rest in most cars being in one piece which was refreshing at a superspeedway

    My years of running open wheel mods using gasoline with limited radiator size creates overheating issues as ambient temperature rises.. Switching to racing e85 or methanol will cure that issue. 406 is a popular choice and with the limited tire contact patch the camshaft selection can really help drive off the turn. The camshaft you showed the specs to I think will work great.shouldnt give that sudden blast of torque that will buzz the tires.
